Read below for all information about the 10,000 USDC price pool.
The total prize pool of 10,000 USDC is divided into two categories:
Communities compete based on the total trading volume generated by their members.
Total Prize Pool: 3,000 USDC
Distribution:
1st Place: 2,000 USDC
2nd Place: 800 USDC
3rd Place: 200 USDC
The prize pool for the winning communities will be distributed based on each eligible trader’s contribution to the community’s total trading volume.
Volume-Based Allocation:
The prize pool is divided proportionally according to each trader’s percentage of the total community volume.
For example, if a trader generates 25% of the total trading volume within their community, they receive 25% of the prize pool.
Formula for Calculation:
Trader’s Reward = (Trader’s Volume / Community Total Volume) x Community Prize Pool
To qualify for a share of the community prize pool: Only traders who generate at least 5,000 Dollars in trading volume during the competition period are eligible.
How Trading Volume is Calculated: Trading volume includes the effect of leverage. For example, a trade with 100 Dollars and 50x leverage generates 5,000 Dollars in volume.
Individual traders compete in multiple categories with a total of $7,000 USDC distributed as follows:
Rewards for the top three traders with the highest overall trading volume (regardless of asset classes).
Total Prize Pool: 2,500 USDC
1st Place: 1,750 USDC
2nd Place: 600 USDC
3rd Place: 150 USDC
The Profit & Loss (P&L) Leaders category rewards the top three traders with the highest calculated Profit Score during the competition. The Profit Score is designed to fairly assess trader performance by considering absolute profits, percentage profits, and trading activity.
Total Prize Pool: 1,500 USDC
1st Place: 1,000 USDC
2nd Place: 400 USDC
3rd Place: 100 USDC
